Introduction to CTE StandardsCTE MissionThe mission of the State Board for Career and Technical Education is to work with others to provide all NorthDakota citizens with the technical skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary for successful performance in aglobally competitive workplace.
Technology Education VisionTechnology Education has evolved as technology has advanced. During the industrial era of the 20th century,Technology Education was taught in the schools as Industrial Arts, reflecting the industrial society. Asadvancements catapulted into a faster moving, more highly sophisticated, technological society, TechnologyEducation has made curriculum adjustments that reflect these changes.
In a word, Technology Education is about Innovation! It is about how people think and how to apply technologysolutions to the problems facing society. The aim is to solve problems and create opportunities within a realisticcontext.
Students use their ingenuity with tools, materials, processes and resources to create solutions and opportunities forthemselves and others. The nature of learning goes from the very early years of just “knowing” to moredeveloped applications that relate Engineering, Assessment, Innovations and Technological Systems. It is adynamic subject in our schools that is as fast moving and as up-to-date as the thinking of technology in oursociety. It is future workforce thinking!
GoalCareer and Technical Education (CTE) is a series of educational programs organized to prepare students forcareers in their chosen fields, to take leadership roles, and to balance their multiple roles in life. The CTE goal isto create a competitive and knowledgeable work force. CTE programs prepare students with the knowledge andskills to make informed career choices, to integrate and apply academic concepts, to prepare for successfulparticipation in a global society, and to engage in lifelong learning.
The North Dakota standards for each CTE program define expectations for student learning. These expectationsguide the development of high-quality and relevant career-focused programs that are consistent across the state.
ProcessWriting standards is a multi-phase process. Existing national and/or industry standards are the basis for the NorthDakota standards. In addition, standards from other states are reviewed for essential content. A team of expertsecondary and postsecondary teachers, business and industry representatives, and the state program supervisor(s)draft the standards document. Once the document is finalized, the State Board for Career and TechnicalEducation approves and adopts the standards. The standards documents are reviewed and updated on a four-yearcycle. Further information on the standards can be found at: http://www.nd.gov/cte/standards/
Academic IntegrationThe Department of Career and Technical Education strongly believes in the importance of academic integrationwithin each program. CTE courses are a vehicle by which students can apply academic knowledge to everydaylife. Each standards document includes an academic crosswalk that identifies the standards in English/LanguageArts, Mathematics, and Science that relate to CTE standards that are taught or reinforced in the CTE program.Technology Education also includes crosswalks with Library/Technology Literacy and Social Studies.
Using the StandardsDistricts will use the standards as guides for developing curriculum that reflects local needs and are tailored toprepare young people for the opportunities that exist in North Dakota and elsewhere.

Definitions
Each standard includes one or more topic statements and competencies. The competencies arecategorized into three divisions: Introductory, Core, and Advanced. These divisions can further bedefined as:
Introductory: Learners at this level explore and become more aware of the content within the subject.
Core: Learners at this level experience acquired knowledge by applying it to familiar situations and tothemselves.
Advanced: Learners at this level analyze, synthesize, judge, assess and evaluate knowledge in accord withtheir own goals, values and beliefs and/or real situations.

Introductory: Grades K-518 A Recognize that a transportation system has many parts that work together to help people travel.18 B Compare the movement of people or goods from one place to another in water, air, space, and on
land.18 C Observe that transportation vehicles need to be cared for to prolong their use.18 D Use the transportation model to show how people and goods are moved from one place to another.18 E Realize that a transportation system may lose efficiency or fail if one part is missing or
malfunctioning or if a subsystem is not working.
Core:
Grades 6-818 F Identify that transporting people and goods involves a combination of individuals and vehicles.18 G Observe that transportation vehicles are made up of subsystems that must function together for a system
to work effectively (e.g., structural, propulsion, suspension, guidance, control, support, etc.).18 H Explain how governmental regulations often influence the design and operation of transportation
systems.18 I Examine how processes are necessary for the entire transportation system to operate efficiently (e.g.
receiving, holding, storing, loading, moving, unloading, delivering, evaluating, marketing,managing, communicating, using conventions, etc.).
Grades 9-1218 J Relate how transportation plays a vital role in the operation of other technologies (e.g. manufacturing,
construction, communication, health and safety, agriculture, etc.)18 K Demonstrate how intermodalism uses different modes of transportation to move people and goods
easily from one mode to another (e.g. highways, railways, and waterways as part of aninterconnected system, etc.).
18 L Expand on how transportation services and methods have led to a population that is regularly on themove.
